Hey Guys,
I'm working on installing a basement bathroom into a relatively new home (2009). The builders installed rough ins for a toilet, shower/tub (1.5") and vanity but provided no easy options for venting the sink or the shower (come to think of it I'm not really sure where the vent for the toilet rough in is...). Really there appear to be only 2 options.
1. Tie into the 3" vent for one of the first floor bathrooms. The problem with this option is there is so little pipe exposed that I don't believe I would be able to tie into it at all. It's between joists, where the pipes could barely be cut and if they could be there would be almost no pipe left to install fittings onto.
2. Tie into a 2" wet vent used by the other first floor bathroom. Currently that vent services a single toilet and the vanity. I'm planning on tying the basement shower and vanity into that. To do that I would install a 2" tee-y into the wet vent, rotating the tee-y so that it is say at 45 degree oriented upwards so that the drain for the vanity would not enter the vent for the basement fixtures.
I have attached a diagram of my proposed connection. I expect it will work but have no idea if it would meet code. Any thoughts? I'm located in Ontario.
Thanks guys,
